You can file a 2021 return until April 15, 2025. The IRS mailed more checks in January 2025.
You want to see if the IRS thinks you have already received it. See IRS Economic Impact Payment for the steps. If the IRS believes you have already received it, you will need to work through them. You might be able to call the IRS for help at 800-919-9835.
If the IRS says you need to file a return, then you should file one.
TurboTax experts do not help with past year returns. If you really think you need help with filing 2021 you will have to google search or find a paid tax preparer in your area.
TurboTax does not know who will receive the stimulus checks that the IRS is sending. The IRS has identified some people who were eligible for the 3rd EIP payment who did not receive it and did not use the recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax returns, so the IRS is sending out those payments. You should check your online account with the IRS---many people received the 3rd stimulus before they filed their 2021 return, so they did not need to use the credit on their tax return.
Look at your online account with the IRS to see if they sent you $1400 in 2021.

If you could be claimed as someone else's dependent in 2021, you are not eligible for the payment.
If you were eligible and do not receive a payment soon from the IRS, the other way to get the payment is to amend your 2021 return to use the recovery rebate credit before April 15, 2025. If you did not file a 2021 return at all, then prepare one and mail it in.
